Everyone's doing this meme. I don't usually post these, because I think "everyone's going to think I'm selfish and hate me for posting this," even though I never think that about anyone else who posts these.

But anyway, I really enjoyed reading the responses in other people's journals. It's neat and interesting how people in fandom are so interconnected. So, I'll post this anyway:

1. How did you first hear of/meet me?

2. Where and when did you first hear my name/see my work/meet me?

3. With what people/series/groups etc. do you associate me and/or my writing?

NOTE: This is not a praise or feedback meme, this is just to track the path of my online presence and to see the connections involved, to find out how people link together.

(Just ignore the whole "writing" part, since I don't write.)

Also, I just looked at my entry from last night, and man, I really shouldn't be allowed to post after 3am.

Gah, it's really scary to think that I could have that much influence. I'm glad I was nice that day and encouraged you! This place is much better with you around.

I remember being kind of nervous because you were typing in all lowercase. And usually when someone types in all lowercase, their fic is *also* in all lowercase, and reads as if written by an eight-year-old. But then you posted a few more times and I realized that you were way smart. So I'm glad I gave you the benefit of the doubt! (I mean, I probably would have been nice even if you had turned out to be an eight-year-old, because everyone deserves encouragement, but still. I'm glad I took you seriously, because you're one of the best writers in this fandom.)

I'm sooo glad I encouraged you to write "Chain." Yay! :)

i don't go to the boards or anything all that much so i don't know what you get up to there. but your lj rocks and i'm glad you didn't give it up.

Thank you! LJ is pretty much the only place I post now. My forum is dead, dead, dead. Though I keep it around in case, y'know, someone like you shows up again. I do occasionally post a sentence or two on BAPS, but mostly it's just LJ.

Oh, BTW, you posted the other day about song lyrics. I loved the lyrics at the beginning of each section of "Chain." They fit/aided the mood of the story, and it wasn't necessary to know the song to "get" the lyrics. It would be really cool if you kept that up in the sequel. (The objections to "song fic" are when the song is interwoven into the story, which is painful and lame, especially when the reader doesn't know the song. I've never heard a valid objection to lyrics at the start or end of a story or its chapters.)
